Young of Bluevale, employ- ed by the Mathers' Beverages, Wing- ham, had a narrow escape from death, on Friday afternoon, as the truck he was driving smashed into the side of a train at the C.P.R. crossing in Blyth, on Highway No. 4, A short-run freight train loaded with grain was coming from Goderich, going east, and slowing up to 'about 10 miles an hour for the station stop. The truck was travelling south on the highway, and coining over the hill at the north end of the village, the driver saw the train and applied the brakes, which did not hold. He was travelling about 30 miles an hour and when about 20 feet from the train Mr. Young jumped clear of the truck, thereby probably saving his life. He escaped unhurt except for a few bruis- es and shock. The impact of the truck hitting a loaded box car caused the motor of the truck to be driven back under the cab and the front end was badly crumpled up, but the truck did not upset. A great deal of glass was strewn about. The driver said he had tested the brakes at Belgrave, and found they were working. Police officers Culp and Gardiner investigated.

CREAMERIES CLOSE SATURDAY NIGHTS ASTONISHES VISITOR Toronto Organist Amazed Mr. Alan D, Bennett, Sec'y of the Ontario Association of Organists is as- tonished. "Not THE Canadian Little Symphony" he said, "Not Harold Sumbergl" Yes that's it. "But they are the best in Canada—how in the world can Wingham do it?" Of course we know the answer; That several Wimigham citizens have purchased memberships and that this is what makes it all possible." Mr. Bennett made some other re- marks that are well worth repeating. He believes that Andrew MacMillan will one day surpass Nelson Ed'ly; that Eugene Kash is either first or second best violinist in Canada and that Margaret Ireland is now known as "the youthful Kolessa."' Another remark ."How Can You Do It?" Yes—"how can you do it for that price?" Mr. Bennett stated that the same series in Toronto would cost the subscriber just double the price. Its gratifying to hear these things from an outstanding Toronto music- ian and its a rather good feeling when one can say "Well, I have MY mem- bership so I won't miss any of those concerts!" 'Memberships may be purchased at the Town Clerk's Office.

MERCHANTS OPPOSE BUSINESS MEETING Many Subjects Discussed ew The regular monthly meeting of the Wingham Chamber of Commerce re- vealed that people are becoming more conscious of the existence of the Chamber in town. Judging from sev- eral suggestions, some of which were most useful and therefore appreciated, people are beginning to sit up and take notice, A1,1 members of the executive voiced their thanks for suggestions and criticism and hoped that it would continue. However time Chamber of Commerce was given, credit for the new • one-hour parking by-law for which they are definitely not respon- sible. The Chamber is interested in helping the parking situation for the benefit of the farming community around Wingham. In fact it was at the suggestion of the Chairman of Rural Relations that the Town Council agreed to light the parking area at the rear of Merkley's garage. Since this was done only a few cars have used it. It was hoped that the farmers would take advantage of this parking area, which is capable of accommodating 50 cars, The secretary was instructed to report the situation in the local news- paper. Farmers Please Note You are cordially invited to use the parking area at the rear of Merkl.w's Garage which was placed there for your convenience. The matter of trans- port trucks unloading merchandise on the main street was under fire. It was the unanimous conclusion that mer- chandise should be delivered to the rear of stores so that our parkin space is not filled up with large trucks. Ihis would relieve the situation consider- ably. Slogan Contest Extended The Slogan Contest for a slonan to be used at the approaches to Wingleun has been extended to October 15th, It is open to High School Students in the !Wingham High School Area, Contest-. ants are invited to send their slogans (aot over 5 words) to Mr, Sant Bur- ton, Box 29, Wingham, Ontado.

All Day Wednesday The Business Men's Association called a special meeting on Friday evening to discuss the serious hydro power shortage, Over fifty were pre- sent, including garage and service ata- tion operators. Messrs. Don Jeffs, manager of the Wingham Utilities Commission, and Morley Somers, Superintendent of the Rural Hydro, were present and stress- ed the seriousness of the present sit- uation. Last year, Wingham was restricted. to 11,000 Kw. hours per day, this proved no serious handicap owing to water power being available. This year, however, is different. The quota was first set at 10,550 Kw. hours, and was later reduced to. 9,725, this is a reduc- tion of about 37% below normal con- sumption. Mr. Jeffs explained how the local commission had cut the street lighting by 42% on Main St., and how the in- dustries were co-operating in every way possible. He suggested that stor- es close -at 5 p.m. each day, except Saturday. A lively discussion followed and a vote taken, the majority being in favor of closing at 5.30 each afternoon ex- cept Saturday, and all day Wednesday. The garage operators agreed to close. at 7 p.m., alonday, to Friday and store hours on Saturday. The new hours went into effect on Monday and as reminder, the town bell, long silent, is again being rung. Mr. Somers, of the rural hydro, said the quota for the \\*Ingham area with 22,000 consumer S was approxi- mately the same as the town of Wing- ham. Time rural users, were saving 0% but they still had to save another 27:C. With all the saving effected by in- dustrial users and business places there still remains a very large per cent of the local saving to be made. This must be done by the domestic users..
